Grand Prix Rejects

October 4th 1958, Moroccan Grand Prix qualifying The Italian Grand Prix dealt a major blow to the title hopes of anyone not named Peter Collins. Most of the contenders failed to score outright, though by all rights Hernando da Silva Ramos should have closed the gap to three points. When the O.S.C.A...

Thank you for making this point, Simtek! I'd been pondering it for quite a while, as upon giving it a closer look, I felt the story of that title showdown didn't quite make sense. Looking at it from the angle of Ferrari wanting to maximise their chance of winning the race as opposed to giving Fangio...

Corrado Fabi's career fits entirely within his brother Teo Fabi's (1983-84 compared to 1982-87). Yet, the two brothers never shared a grid. Teo missed out on 1983, and Corrado's three appearances in 1984 were replacing Teo at Brabham.

September 7th 1958, Italian Grand Prix Stirling Moss was the big loser at the start, destroying his clutch just as the race started. Thankfully, his frantic waving alerted the drivers behind and everyone avoided the stricken B.C.M.A.. His teammate benefited, as Brabham took the early advantage. The...

Brendon Hartley - eleventh place on pure merit, probably his best drive this year. After the mistakes of others, elevated to ninth place, which I feel is poetic justice.

Daniel Ricciardo's Red Bull - seriously? Again?

Haas - using too much fuel is just one of those things you shouldn't even have to think about. You have sensors specifically for this reason.

August 24th 1958, Portuguese Grand Prix Bonnier held on to the lead for the first lap, followed by Collins, González, Ramos and Moss.

I'm going to vote for McLaren, or at least whoever was in charge of communications. They failed to send their tyre preferences to Pirelli resulting in the default allocation, and they also reportedly just forgot to tell Vandoorne that Norris was replacing him in FP1.

August 3rd 1958, British Grand Prix The B.C.M.A. drivers were instructed to start the race strongly, and Brabham duly led the first lap from Moss, Marimón, Ramos and Surtees while Collins was relegated to eighth place.
